They don't have to do it, but they should keep him

Streit's been more consistent, but Del Zotto's 14 years younger and has been almost as good

- AllInForFlyers


He's a guy, like Streit and Coburn, that I'd be looking to keep unless the offer was a very good one

If simmer and the 4th line werent hot wasn't hot we'd be getting shut out every game.

It's not a coincidence that line started the 2nd period.

Umberger actually looked like a hockey player on that goal
- PhillySportsGuy

Gotta give him credit for looking worlds better over the last month or two.

HA!

They are infuriating, but like Hextall said, if they got one before the period, you knew it'd be a game

They were already playing better

Glad they tied it, though -- would be great if they spanked the hell outta the Jackets in the third

Berube has been preaching it all season long. Shoot the puck. Flyers put 20 shots on net in that period. Outscored them 2-0 in that period. Come out and do the same in the 3rd.

Just got in from night class in time to see two goals. Better period than the first, eh? Out-shooting Columbus by a wide margin. How's Raffl looked back on the top line? And Schenn with White and Umberger I'm guessing.

The top line has looked better.

And Brayden Schenn is playing 3rd line minutes.

In other words, pretty much where he belongs right now.

So we need Toronto to pull through for us. A win over Florida would go a long way towards improving our chances. Right now they're down 2-1.

HA!

They look like different players -- and Schenn was more noticeable at center in that period than he has been in weeks

Good, I'm glad Chief finally made those adjustments.
How's Schenn looked with White and Umberger? They had a nice shift to set-up that goal. And I heard JJ mention Schenn drew a penalty earlier in the period.

It's amazing -- Schenn doesn't go anywhere except the front of the net after being moved to center

You can't find his ass with a map, GPS and Triple AAA anywhere near the front of the net when he's at LW

Apparently not....

MDZ has been making himself some money lately, though.

He can really fire the puck.

Did anyone think they'd get to this point in the season and be happy that Hextall signed both Nick Schultz and MDZ?

Credit to Berube for making the change but I don't see how G and Jake get a pass, while Schenn had to be the problem. The change is made, Schenn draws a penalty instantly. Momentum begins from the PP and Schenn is on the ice after momentum continues to snowball for the second goal. G and Jake in my opinion were apart of the problem the past number of games. Giroux was terrible in Buffalo.

He did.

Playing 3rd line minutes and with guys like Umberger (when he's not dead) or Ryan White (who has hopefully stolen Zac Rinaldo's job) won't kill him. If he's as good as everyone (not me) thinks he is, he should dominate against lesser competition and it will help the team.

Schenn looked better at C with those guys than he has in awhile. Made the simple play, got to the net and looked good.
